Contra Ron Lindsay, skeptical inquiry is just as likely to support nihilism as it is humanism or humanist ethics (whatever that might be).

@PhilosophyExp As a method of inquiry, it's certainly compatible with humanism, but not necessarily continuous with it.
@DJGrothe If it suggests nihilism, and I see no reason to rule that out, then it's incompatible with humanism.

@PhilosophyExp@DJGrothe Isn't the reality that CFI stands for a sociological clustering set of about three positions? /1 -
@Metamagician Yeah, it's a position and a corporate strategy but skepticism doesn't demand humanism necessarily@PhilosophyExp -
@DJGrothe@PhilosophyExp It's a cluster that sits pretty well with me, as it happens. -
@Metamagician (Much like methodological naturalism doesn't demand atheism, tho certainly is compatible with it.)@PhilosophyExp
